flag Levi's raised 2025 profit forecast but missed estimates, shares dropped on tariff-driven margin warning.

flag Levi Strauss & Co. raised its 2025 adjusted earnings forecast to $1.27–$1.32 per share but missed Wall Street’s $1.31 consensus, sending shares down 7.5–7.9% in after-hours trading. flag Despite strong third-quarter results—$1.54 billion in revenue and 34 cents per share, both above estimates—the company warned of a 130-basis-point gross margin decline in Q4 due to U.S. tariffs on imports from China (30%) and other countries (20%). flag To offset costs, Levi secured 70% of holiday inventory early and implemented modest price increases. flag The company cited growth in direct-to-consumer sales, international markets, and non-jeans categories, while reducing SKUs by 15% to improve efficiency.
